Campus Recruitment and College Placements is a double-edged sword. Often, businesses find some of the best candidates through Mass Recruitment on College Campuses, who are open to be molded in a new industry and start with the basics, with good grasping of what’s needed from them. However, it also comes with the challenge of training someone new, as well as the risk of hiring the wrong Candidate and understanding it at a later stage.
Hiring freshers is not just a great way to bring in enthusiastic people in the team, but it also helps organizations introduce fresh new ideas and perspectives at a comparatively lower cost. The entire dynamic of hiring freshers doesn’t just prove beneficial for the company and its working, but also proves to be immensely rewarding for Recruiters.
It’s not necessarily true that great candidates can only be found through Ivy League colleges or Tier-1 colleges. A great organizational fit can be found in almost every college. However, it is the art of recruitment that decides the outcome.
If you are a Recruiter who hires regularly through Campus Recruitment, here’s how you can make the best of your selection:
Lay Out A Strong Hiring Plan
While entering the process of Campus Hiring, it is important to begin with a well-designed hiring plan. Develop a plan highlighting the positions you need to hire for, strong points and expectations from a candidate, the screening process before the interview, clarity on CTC and Salary packages, and so on. This will help you, not just in remaining crystal clear with your requirements, but also make it easier for the right candidates to engage with your hiring process.
Choose the Right Campus
All efforts can go to waste if you are applying your resources in the wrong direction. That’s why, attention must be given to selecting the right Colleges and Universities, that will be able to help you connect with the students who possess the necessary skill sets that you might want. Campuses with Industrial Specialization courses, or Internship Programs provide an added advantage.
Use Social Media Impactfully
With the world around us increasingly becoming digital, Social media comes across as an ideal place to interact with freshers, as well as for superficial background checks. Engaging with students through Social media, understanding their likes and dislikes, knowing their network circle and their involvement in current news and activities can help recruiters get a good understanding of a Candidate. However, it helps to remember that this cannot be an absolute factor and any concerns or doubts are better clarified during the personal interview rounds.
Engage with Student Bodies and representatives
Student bodies, such as Clubs, Initiatives and Collectives, can act as great communication platforms for Hiring Drives. Organizations can focus on connecting with these bodies, to reach out to the right candidates, as well as to spread information, share job-profiles and job-openings, assistance in preparation for Campus Drives and as a medium of communication.
Leave the Right Impression
When it comes to the process of hiring, it is not just Interviewees that need to cast the right impression. It is also the Interviewer who needs to put out an impressive image. In the end, Recruiters and the entire process of recruitment is also a representation of the company’s capabilities. Just like Recruiters want the best of people in the team, students too wish to work for the best of organizations.
